Last updated : 27 October 2008 By Footy Mad - Editor
It could have been Newcastle they played, but the Magpies fell to Wrexham 4-1 after a 2-2 draw at SJP in an earlier round.

But Blue Square North side Blyth Spartans are back in the big time with an FA Cup first round tie against Shrewsbury.

Newcastle Blue Star or Altrincham go to troubled Luton Town.

Swindon will face a tricky trip against either Durham City or Histon, Darlo face non-league opposition in Droylsden orBelper Town, and the Monkey Hangers go to Brighton.
